 I am torn - the greens and reds are beautiful but very subtle. They look great on a good monitor, but on my work laptop, they blend and everything seems dark.

Can't wait to see how many "too dark" comments I get.

Minimal processing.

Congrats, not ONE comment about it being too dark. I think this was very well rendered. The only thing that could work better ... the line of the asparagus leads your eye right up and out of the picture.
Other than that one little thing I think this was very well done. And just for the record ... I really like asparagus!
Congrats.

I like the idea, and your focus is right on target. But something about the placement bothers me. And I can't put my finger on it.

Great idea, however the black background is a little harsh for me? Lovely detail in the asparagus though :)
